Neuromodulation by Oxytocin and Vasopressin
Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) are two closely related neuropeptides, widely known for their peripheral hormonal effects. Specific receptors have also been found in the brain, where their neuromodulatory actions have meanwhile been described in a large number of regions. Recently, it has become possible to study their endogenous neuropeptide release with the help of OT/VP promoter-driven ex...
متن کاملAncient neuromodulation by vasopressin/oxytocin-related peptides
Neuropeptidergic signaling is widely adopted by animals for the regulation of physiology and behavior in a rapidly changing environment. The vasopressin/oxytocin neuropeptide family originates from an ancestral peptide precursor in the antecedent of protostomian and deuterostomian animals. In vertebrates, vasopressin and oxytocin have both hormonal effects on peripheral target tissues, such as ...
متن کاملVasopressin neuromodulation in the hippocampus.
This study explored an effector mechanism associated with the arginine vasopressin (AVP) recognition site in the hippocampus, namely, potentiation of norepinephrine (NE)-induced cAMP accumulation in the surviving hippocampal slice. The biochemical mechanisms that underlie the AVP potentiation were investigated as follows: First, the actions of AVP upon NE-induced accumulation of cAMP in hippoca...
متن کاملVasopressin, oxytocin and social behaviour.
Understanding the neurobiology of social behaviour in mammals has been considerably advanced by the findings from two species of vole, one of which is monogamous and pair bonds whereas the other species is promiscuous and fails to form any long-lasting social relationships. The combination of neurobehavioural studies and molecular genetics has determined behavioural differences between the two ...
متن کاملOxytocin and Vasopressin Involved in Restraint Water-Immersion Stress Mediated by Oxytocin Receptor and Vasopressin 1b Receptor in Rat Brain
AIMS Vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT) are considered to be related to gastric functions and the regulation of stress response. The present study was to study the role of vasopressinergic and oxytocinergic neurons during the restraint water-immersion stress. METHODS Ten male Wistar rats were divided into two groups, control and RWIS for 1h. The brain sections were treated with a dual immuno...
